Nationalist Member of Parliament Darren Carabott revealed on his Facebook page that immigration authorities mistakenly raided the home of an elderly woman in Marsa, acting on incorrect information while attempting to apprehend individuals living in Malta illegally.
Carabott shared that the family reached out to him personally, detailing how the authorities forcefully broke down the door. Upon realizing their mistake, they failed to contact the family about the damage caused, merely repairing the traditional antique Maltese door with two screws and a piece of wood.
He also noted that the family only learned about the raid from their neighbors, as the authorities did not reach out to them directly.
Carabott emphasized that this incident highlights the prejudice faced by families living in such areas and stressed the importance of acting on accurate information and addresses.
He concluded by expressing relief that for a few months the elderly woman has not been living alone in the house, imagining the fear she would have experienced had she been alone when law enforcement forcefully entered her home.
